json server install and go build

[JEROME4095]

looking for some guidance here on getting my pc set up! I have set up my go path golang can run code examples but the serial server not so good it sill will not run not sure the go build worked

[johnlauer]

Why don't you just run the binary instead of trying to build it from scratch? The download links for the binaries is on the main page of the Github project. It's also inside ChiliPeppr if you are starting there.

Looks like you're running. Congrats.

hi john I thank you for you comments cant seem to connect

[JEROME4095]

am i missing something?

[johnlauer]

Are you trying to use ChiliPeppr? Or are you trying to write a custom program to talk to SPJS? If you're using ChiliPeppr go to http://chilipeppr.com

[JEROME4095]

i am tring to use your program chilipepper

[johnlauer]

Ok. Then you need to go to http://chilipeppr.com and connect to a workspace and connect to SPJS from inside the workspace. I'm showing you were to connect in the screenshot below

i have a tinyg i have chosen this work space i am missing something not sure what

[johnlauer]

Please send more screenshots to help me/us out.

[JEROME4095]

ok what would you like to see

[JEROME4095]

so would localhost be my public ip

[JEROME4095]

not to sure how to get the server to connect i have look a my network with wireshark and cant see any port 8989 packets

[johnlauer]

I think you are making this too hard on yourself.

1. Have you "scanned for hosts" inside ChiliPeppr? It will show you your running Serial Port JSON Server.
2. Did you go ahead and just try connecting to localhost? You're probably running SPJS on the same box as ChiliPeppr so just trying localhost will work beautifully.
3. Did you see that when you launch Serial Port JSON Server is spits out your local IP address for you to help you out? In your screenshot it shows 192.168.1.5:8989

[JEROME4095]

i have scanned it shows json not connected, localhost fails

[johnlauer]

Did you exit Serial Port JSON Server? Did you try item 3 above? Can you send back way more screenshots and provide much longer responses to help me out?

how can i be sure the serial server is runnung ?

[johnlauer]

At this point I suggest you watch the tutorial video. The one that was done a few days ago is likely the most relevant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=08KHl2vtiGM

[JEROME4095]

i will watch it again thank you for the help

[johnlauer]

Or this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKLdgpz8gpQ which is a bit old but has more discussion of serial port json server.

[JEROME4095]

server can not bind to port error?

[JEROME4095]

i am getting closer the tinyG in now connected in coolterm still cant seem to connect with web socket? as chilipeppr still not connecting to json serial server

[JEROME4095]

[JEROME4095]

more progress today .. tinyg is connected to usb with coolterm just now seems mode is stuck ? would their be site with more info into the config of the json in side of coolterm

[johnlauer]

Can you make a video walking us through your whole setup to help me/us out? You're not explaining enough about what you've tried, what's failed, what your setup is, etc, so with the goal of actually truly understanding your setup I think the only way is a full video walkthrough of what you're trying to do and what's failing. I suggest using Jing because it's free https://www.techsmith.com/download/jing/
